OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of renal denervation (RDT) on micro- and macro-vascular function in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). DESIGN A prospective, randomised, open-controlled trial with blinded end-point analysis. SETTING A single-centre London teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-five patients with HFpEF who were recruited into the RDT-PEF tr...

background: lemon verbena (lippia citriodora h.b.k.) is an aromatic and medicinal plant of family verbenaceae, which cultivated in the north region of iran. objective: this comparative study was carried out on essential oil content and composition of lippia citriodora h.b.k. from micro-propagated and rooted apical stem cutting plantlets. methods: the micro-propagated plantlets were obtained by ...

Recognizing the benefit that one can get by exploiting the Micro-Grid (MG) concept, as an active part of the Low Voltage (LV) network comprising several micro-generation (μG) sources, controllable loads and storage devices, is a key issue towards the MG concept deployment. Furthermore, the MG concept is extended into Multi-Micro Grid (MMG) concept, identifying the benefits that can be obtained ...

In order to achieve the high-precision and high-efficiency machining of micro-channels for hard brittle materials, authors innovatively proposed a new technology called template-based electrophoretically assisted micro-ultrasonic (TBEPAMUSM). This transfers micro-channel shape punch-pin workpiece material through form micro-channel. At same time, it uses electrophoretic properties ultra-fine ab...

objective: druggability of a target protein depends on the interacting micro-environment between the target protein and drugs. therefore, a precise knowledge of the interacting micro-environment between the target protein and drugs is requisite for drug discovery process. to understand such micro-environment, we performed in silico interaction analysis between a human target protein, dipeptidyl...

background: in the recent years, using health technologies to diagnose and treat diseases has had a considerable and accelerated growth. the proper use of these technologies may considerably help in the diagnosis and treatment of different diseases. on the other hand, unlimited and unrestricted entry of these technologies may result in induced demand by service providers. the aim of this study ...

the degradation of crude oil under a no-control and dispersant-control setting was evaluated using loss of biological activity test, microbial population growth and measurements of optical transmittance of test media. comparison of the toxicity of crude oil under the no-control setting to crude oil-dispersant mixture revealed that the mixture was about 2 times more toxic than the crude oil unde...

Aiming at the various shortcomings of existing tool setting methods, this paper proposes a coaxial holographic method for tiny tools. Based on research and analysis principle imaging key issues images, set detection device micro milling was built, measurement carried out five-axis machining center using standard experiment. Experimental results show that can efficiently perform micro-milling to...
